EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome fresco, titled "Portrait of Abu Ma shar (Albumasar)" transports viewers back to the early 16th century in Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. Created by Luca Signorelli's pupils between 1501 and 1503, this artwork is housed in the Museo dell Opera del Duomo (MODO), specifically in the Alberi Library. The Alberi Library features a series of monochrome frescoes depicting renowned classical masters from various fields such as law, medicine, astronomy, and grammar. This particular portrait showcases Abu Ma shar (also known as Albumasar), an esteemed astronomer of his time. With meticulous brushstrokes and attention to detail, Signorelli's workshop successfully captures the essence of Abu Ma shar's wisdom and knowledge. The artist masterfully portrays him surrounded by astronomical instruments that symbolize his expertise in celestial matters. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its historical context. It serves as a testament to the Renaissance period's fascination with science and humanism. Through this portrait, we are reminded of the intellectual pursuits that shaped our understanding of the universe during that era. Ghigo Roli skillfully captured this remarkable piece through photography while preserving its intricate details for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but marvel at both Signorelli's artistry and Abu Ma shar's contributions to astronomy centuries ago.
